Chapter 455: The Soldier
Night falls.
On the surface, the entire city has fallen into a deep sleep, but under the dark night, a silent contest is unfolding.
"Hey-----!!"
Kanami jumped up, and the ninja sword in her hand directly cut the throat of an assassin. At the same time, she turned over and dodged the attack of another assassin. Then she threw out the shuriken in her hand and inserted it directly into the opponent's throat. Kill him with a blow to the throat.
This series of movements was crisp and clean, but there were more assassins surrounding her. Soon, several black figures jumped down from the roof and rushed towards Kanami.
However, just when they landed, these black shadows hit the ground directly and stopped moving.
"………………"
Seeing this scene, Kanami's expression froze slightly.
"Suzuki girl?"
"Hehe, Renren, it's the bell girl ̄ω ̄="
Along with the voice, Suzume emerged from the shadows on the other side. At this moment, she was no longer dressed like the maid before, but was wearing a short skirt and kimono that dropped her shoulders and looked very sexy. However, even so, Kanami did not underestimate the fighting power of the kunoichi in front of her - Suzume O.J's first genius kunoichi was indeed not a boast. In front of her, Kanami was just like a child, with no ability to fight back at all.
Just like just now, even though she had raised her awareness to the limit, she still didn't notice the Suzu girl hiding beside her.
For ninjas fighting in the dark, this is simply fatal.
"………………"
Looking at the Suzume in front of her, Kanami's mood was somewhat complicated.
She also knew that she was not qualified as a ninja - after all, she was an escape ninja, while Suzuki was a regular kunoichi. Although there are still differences between ninjas and kunoichi, at Suzume's level, it doesn't matter whether or not you use your body to kill.
But for Kanami, the Suzume in front of her brought her not only urgency, but also a sense of crisis.
Yes, a sense of crisis.
Kanami also noticed that Duanmu Huai was very kind to Suzuki. Not only did he teach her the stealth skills of the Raven Guard, he even deliberately pulled her in after learning that kunoichi like Suzuki died early due to drug use since childhood. When he arrived in another world, he found the angels and priests there to purify him.
Of course, Kanami also knows that although Duanmu Huai looks fierce, she still has a good heart, but...the problem is that her functions overlap with hers!
On weekdays, Kanami is responsible for lurking, searching for intelligence and counter-espionage, but in the final analysis, she is only a dabbler. It's just that she can't compare to O.J's number one genius kunoichi Suzume in this aspect. Even in bed, she is no match for Suzume - the latter is a kunoichi who is proficient in various skills of men and women in bed, and Kanami is just a simple and half-baked ninja. Once the two sides fight, Kanami is completely powerless and loses her armor in a matter of seconds.
It is precisely because of this that Kanami is currently doing her best to guard her position in order to stabilize her position - just like in the office, if you are not as awesome as your genius colleagues, then you can only have hard work without credit...
"It's just that there are so many guys looking for trouble recently, nya..."
Suzume rolled her eyes and looked around, and Kanami nodded.
"Maybe it's because of the actions of the council, I don't know what the adults are thinking..."
As a ninja, gathering intelligence is naturally Kanami's job. However, there is no need to collect this information, because the Council has publicly stated that they will mobilize the First Army, the Second Army, and the Fifth Army to jointly encircle and suppress this rebel army that calls itself King Qin's Army! !
Well... I have to say, this is indeed quite bluffing.
So during this period, there were more or less spies and assassins. The two of them were not afraid that Duanmu Huai would be assassinated, but they had to pay more attention to others. So in the past two days, at night it was basically two ninjas and a group of assassins and spies playing sneak attacks and counter-sneak attacks--it was a lot of fun.
"I don't know what he is thinking, but Lingme thinks it must be something interesting."
Suzuki turned her head and looked at the steel fortress outside the city with a smile - this was also the only brightly lit place in the entire city. Even late at night, the light on Titan can still illuminate the surrounding area as brightly as day. Assassins who dare to go there to look for trouble will basically not be able to touch Titan's door alive and be killed.
At the moment, in the conference room of the Steel Fortress, everyone is gathering together to hold a military meeting.
"Judging from the current situation, the council is in a hurry."
Duanmuhuai sat on the main seat, looking quite relaxed, while Krim beside him looked a little uneasy. Not only Krim, but also Uruze frowned at this moment.
"They plan to use the human sea tactic. I think we should break through directly. Soldiers are expensive and fast. As long as we can reach the royal city in the shortest time, with the powerful power of this steel giant, we can definitely capture it easily."
Krim decisively gave her opinion. Just as Kriolev thought, in her opinion, the best way was to go directly north, break through the siege, and attack the royal city.
But neither Uluze nor Qildi spoke. One of them was deep in thought, while the other looked at Duanmuhuai curiously.
"Well, that's a good idea."
Duanmuhuai looked at the map in front of him and nodded.
"But unfortunately it's of no use."
“……It’s of no use???”
Krim couldn't help but be startled when he heard Duanmuhuai's words.
"But……………"
"Indeed, Titan has the ability to destroy the entire royal city, but if it really only wants to destroy the royal city, why do I need to join forces with you? I will directly lead my troops to kill all the way, and then directly blow up the royal city. As for Herman’s legion, if each of them counts, can they all stop me?”
"Well……………"
Although Duanmuhuai's words didn't sound good, Krim had to admit that it was indeed the truth.
"But if we don't aim to destroy the Royal City, then Titan will only have a deterrent effect. When the time comes, people will use the city and the citizens inside as a shield, and then push the army inside. If we don't want to destroy the Royal City, we will have to Do you think the Fourth Army is enough to fight the opponent in street battles? "
"………………"
Hearing this, Krim's face became stiffer and stiffer. She already understood what Duanmu Huai meant. To put it bluntly, if they really attack the city, then the Council will most likely use the innocent citizens in the city as shields, and then mix the army into it. Once the Titans are unable to take action, then the more than 20,000 people of the Fourth Legion will , useless at all.
After all, the Fourth Army was almost at the bottom of Hermann's five armies in terms of the quality of its troops. Although the Fifth Army only had 10,000 men, it was a guerrilla force and was focused on streamlining and speeding up its operations. The first legion must be elite troops if they want to protect the royal city. The Second Legion is stationed at the border of the Demon Realm all year round, and they are all experienced in actual combat.
What about the Fourth Army?
Well, to put it bluntly, the value of their existence is to serve as cannon fodder when the other two countries attack, just to delay it for a little time.
"Then what should we do?"
"it's actually really easy."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"Do you still remember King Qin's slogan?"
"We want to eliminate Prime Minister Stisser and his followers who control the government."
"Isn't this right?"
Duanmu Huai knocked on the table.
"What's the use of just annihilating Stisser? You should also know that Stisser's ability to grow up to this point and cover the sky with one hand is not just his problem, right? That wouldn't be simple. As long as we kill Stisser's If all the gangsters are eliminated, then this featherless chicken won’t be able to roam for long.”
Having said this, Duanmu Huai raised his finger and pointed at the sand table in front of him.
"So, I suggest - we attack the Bonn Fortress first, capture it and then guard it. Then we fight back and liberate all other cities in the rear! In this way, two-thirds of Hermann's land The people and the people are on our side and support us. At that time, I want to see how many people will work for Stisser!"
"Is this okay?"
Hearing this, Krim was stunned, but Uluze and Qildi's eyes lit up at this moment!
The location of the Bonn Fortress is actually a bit similar to the Hulao Pass in front of Luoyang, with a situation where one man can guard the pass and no one can open it. Of course, it is not easy for ordinary troops to capture this fortress. But for Titan, it's much simpler. Not only that, once they capture Hulao Pass and pin the Titans directly there, no matter you have an army of 100,000 or 200,000, they will be sealed inside!
It's like a bottle, and the Bonn Fortress is the mouth of the bottle. Once you block the mouth of the bottle, not only can you not get out from inside, but you can't get in from the outside either!
At that time, they can completely free up their hands to deal with the outside, and then go back to clean up the inside.
Just like Duanmuhuai said, two-thirds of Herman's land and people will be on their side by then. Let's see what Stisser can do to fight them!
The only disadvantage is that it takes more time...but for the Inquisition, this problem is obviously not a problem.
After the general direction was determined, everyone immediately began to discuss the next march route and other matters. At this moment, Qildi did not join the discussion, but looked at Duanmu Huai with shining eyes.
I didn't expect that he had such wisdom!
Qildi initially volunteered to lead Lisas's bodyguards here. Her original intention was just to use this opportunity to establish her own merits so that she could go further. At that time, Qildi's impression of Duanmu Huai was more like the kind of reckless man who could fight. In fact, after meeting, Duanmu Huai's appearance strengthened Qildi's thoughts. But what she didn't expect was that this man who looked fierce and rough in appearance also had considerable wisdom and political and military talents!
This immediately gave Kirti a new idea.
If you can develop a further relationship with this gentleman, it will be very helpful for your future development!
As for whether Duanmu Huai likes women, Kirti doesn't have to doubt it. After all, she saw Kanami and Suzume going to Duanmu Huai's room late at night more than once - when a woman goes to a man's room at night, she definitely doesn't go there to chat.
But the question now is...what should I do to attract this gentleman's attention?
After thinking for a moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Qildi's mind.
Got it!
